About Lynne Wells

My path to teaching holistic integrative fitness began with an active lifestyle in junior high and high school with participation in competitive sports, followed by a discovery of the joy of movement and creation through dance and choreography. In college I continued dancing and spent my time focusing on my extracurricular dance and choreography related activities. After receiving a BA from the University of Vermont, I moved to New York City to study modern dance in order to continue telling stories through dance. In New York City I performed, taught Muller technique, and choreographed. My choreography was shown internationally in Brazil, Switzerland, as well as in various locales in New York City.

In 1995 I was certified through ACE as a personal trainer. I became as passionate in teaching alignment, balance, and effective techniques for strength conditioning to my clients as I was in teaching dance to pre-professional and professional dancers. Over the years, the stress of dancing took its toll on my body and began to limit my ability to move with comfort and ease. I discovered yoga and became a certified yoga teacher receiving my first training from Integral Yoga Institute in 2003, followed by an advanced certification from Om Yoga in 2004. Through yoga I learned meditation and breathing techniques that infuse my personal training sessions. However, my body continued to ache and to be limited in its movement.

Through my continuing education studies, I met Andy Langberg, the founder and developer of Reactivation, and I discovered the benefits of an energetic "tune-up" for my body. Now that my body could move through its full range of motion again, I had a couple of children (check out my blogs: Lynne's Fitness Adventures and Lynne's (Pregnancy) Fitness Activity Log), continued personal training, teaching yoga, and developed Sling Your Baby and Toss Your Toddler parent and child classes. I took undergraduate and graduate level courses in nutrition and exercise science at Brooklyn College and with my new knowledge I obtained my ACE Health Coach certification in 2007. A few years later, after an injury, I reacquainted myself with Reactivation. The opportunity arose to study Reactivation and I became a Level 1 Reactivation Specialist in April 2014.

As a Certified Level 1, Level 2 (June 2014), and Level 3 (March 2017) Reactivation Specialist, I enjoy the process of energetically "tuning-up" clients and seeing how these "tune-ups" can enable greater facility of movement in yoga poses, sports, and especially in daily life. With Reactivation I have embarked on the unexpected path of energy healing. This fully supports and complements my desire to help others create health in their lives. I have not lost my passion for telling stories, as I can, on occasion, still be found in a cafe writing.﻿Click here for information about my writing.

"At age 41 I have been diagnosed with severe degenerative arthritis of my right hip and my orthopedist has told me I will need a hip replacement. I have daily pain semi-managed with NSAIDs. Lynne’s treatment approach connects the mind, muscle and energy in a way I have never experienced. After my first session with Lynne, I have found my hip flexibility to be significantly increased. I feel like my muscle groups are working together, not one working harder than the other as it was before. My session with Lynne was amazing and was an unexpected emotional experience charging me physically and mentally!﻿"﻿
